Fetal anomaly screening programme standards report updated

Last year we published the first annual data report for the NHS Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme (FASP).

The report contains important information about how well the programme was performing against national standards in the period April 2015 to March 2016.

All pregnant women in England are offered a screening test for Down's, Edwards' and Patau's syndrome between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. This is to assess their chance of having a baby with these conditions.

Since the FASP data report was published in October 2017 we’ve identified some minor errors in our data calculations.

Please note: we send the raw data contained in the report direct to NHS England screening and immunisation teams and to screening quality assurance service (SQAS) teams. These teams should be assured that the data tables they've received from us are correct.
